Today I am making a Woven Quilt for a class sample.
I chose some solid looking batiks and some fibers in different weights.
Let's see what happens...
This was Fun!
I tore all of the strips, no rotary cutting.
I used the same weaving technique I developed for my Cow Pony Quilt.

Canvas Stretcher Board
I decided to mount this woven quilt on a stretcher board.
This will help support the weight of the piece.
Canvas covered in black batik fabric
Installing a picture hook on the back of the canvas
This is my Thread Shed Toolbox........it holds very different tools than my regular tool box in the house!
I stitched the quilt through the canvas to hold it in place.
This also gives me the option of removing the quilt from the canvas if I need to.
Quilt Label fused to the back of the canvas
" Weaving My Dreams "
Beads sewn on by hand
Beads strung on to the fibers hanging at the bottom.
This project was free spirited for me........I am a recovering Perfectionist........and ripping fabric with stray threads dangling here and there is not my norm.........but I enjoyed every minute of it.........thus the name.........Weaving My Dreams.
